This 17th book in the excellent Spenser series is an outstanding contribution. Parker created fantastic characters in Spenser, Hawk, Susan and Quirk. Spenser is a tough guy who does right even if it includes violence. Stardust has a good plot and includes excellent dialogue. I especially appreciated Spenser’s dog related actions. 4+ stars and recommended for readers who enjoy Michael Connelly, John Sandford, Robert Crais, Craig Johnson and Mark Dawson.
